The conference is being held in a church. All the meals and the accommodation are in the church. I have a very comfortable room and all the rooms we are using, including the bedrooms have air conditioning, a pleasant surprise.
The Church is not built on a hill, I am holding my camera wonky and have no idea how to correct the problem digitally!
There was no internet at the Church but there was electricity, something which I learned on my last trip, not to take for granted! I have teken a picture of the powerlines to give you an idea of the standard.
There are 2 of us here from Norway for the Agenda 1 Conference as well as the Cambodian team. Steve Bruns and I. Here's a picture of Steve thinking during one of the breaks.
He has done an excellent job of making the Agenda 1 concept accessible to the Cambodian people who have varying levels of education. We have both been bending our minds about how to convey a thaught or concept pictorally. Between us we have come up with some very good and easy to understand ideas. At least, easy to understand if you are following the teaching. Here is an example:
Can you guess what it is illustrating?
The teaching is not all about sitting on chairs listening. We have many different churches from different places and different denominations represented here. That is the genius of the Agenda concept! It is equally relevant to all, it is cross-denominational and cross-cultural. It was also really great to see the unity of the churches as they worked, worshipped and lived together for three days.
Although there are lots of people, the leaders from each church work together in their group looking how their plans made last time have gone, applying the teaching, dreaming big dreams and then coming back to reality and making concrete plans as to what they want to implement in their church, how they are going to go about it and who will be responsible. Here is a picture of the groups at work:
